Foodpanda is a food delivery app that generally provides a wide selection of restaurants and good promotional offers, making it easy for users to order food. However, recent reviews indicate a downward trajectory in user satisfaction due to persistent problems with delivery times, payment processing, and customer service responsiveness. While some users praise its convenience and deals, a significant portion reports issues with app functionality and order fulfillment.

Latest update · v26.27.0

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

We're always working hard to optimize our app with the latest technologies and best new features. This version includes a number of UI/UX improvements as well as stability enhancements. Enjoy!

Recurring themes

Delivery Issues negative
Many users report significant delays in delivery, with orders taking much longer than estimated, often resulting in cold food. Riders are sometimes blamed for delays or not picking up orders. The app's 'saver delivery' option is particularly criticized for excessive delays.R4R7R15R19
Customer Support negative
A recurring complaint is the poor quality and unresponsiveness of customer service. Users struggle to contact support, report issues, or get refunds, with some describing it as 'pathetic' or 'useless.' Support agents are accused of providing copy-pasted messages, closing chats prematurely, and failing to resolve problems.R6R9R11R13
App Functionality/Bugs negative
Despite developer notes claiming 'stability enhancements,' many recent reviews report significant app issues. Users experience crashes, freezing on startup, payment errors, difficulty marking locations, and general lag. Older iOS versions are specifically mentioned as having problems.R2R24R30R37
Pricing & Vouchers negative
Users frequently complain about higher prices in the app compared to original menus, additional charges, and 'absurd delivery charges.' There are also many issues with vouchers not being applicable, being removed, or being wasted due to order cancellations.R10R12R22R34
Missing Features negative
Reviewers request several missing features, including a cancel order button, live activities for delivery tracking, the ability to tip riders after delivery, dark mode, and better inventory checks before payment.R6R8R92R111
User Experience mixed
While some users find the app easy to use, convenient, and appreciate the wide selection and good offers, a significant number highlight frustrating experiences due to the aforementioned issues, leading to a generally negative recent sentiment.R1R3R35R39

Who it's for

Foodpanda is for users looking for a wide variety of food delivery options and good deals, especially if they are in regions where the service is well-established and reliable R3R35R39R46. It is NOT for users who prioritize consistent on-time delivery, responsive customer support, or a bug-free app experience, particularly if they are using older iPhone models or traveling internationally R2R15R26.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative (67.9% negative), which contrasts with the lifetime rating of 4.55. This suggests a significant decline in user satisfaction recently. Many points, especially regarding delivery issues, customer service, and app bugs, are supported by numerous reviews across different regions, indicating widespread problems. Developer notes mention UI/UX improvements and stability enhancements, but recent reviews directly contradict the 'stability enhancements' claim, with many users reporting app crashes and bugs.

Frequently asked

Does Foodpanda offer refunds for cancelled or incorrect orders?
Foodpanda's refund process is often problematic; while some users report receiving refunds, many others state they have not received refunds for missing items, cancelled orders, or overcharges, even after multiple attempts to contact customer service R9R14R15R20.
Are delivery times accurate with Foodpanda?
Delivery times with Foodpanda are frequently inaccurate, with many users reporting significant delays that often double or triple the estimated time, even for 'priority' or 'saver delivery' options, leading to cold food R7R15R19R21.
Can I use Foodpanda if I'm traveling or don't have a local phone number?
No, Foodpanda often requires a local phone number, which can prevent travelers or international users from creating an account or using the app, even if they are in a supported region R26R45.
Does Foodpanda have a cancel order button?
No, Foodpanda currently lacks a direct cancel order button, forcing users to go through customer support, which is often unresponsive, even when orders are severely delayed R6R23R240R362.

  10. [R132] 5/5 · US Mi salvación cuando no tengo tiempo de cocinar: Foodpanda es mi app favorita para pedir comida. Los tiempos de entrega suelen ser muy precisos y la comida siempre llega caliente. Me encanta la sección de 'PandaRewards' porque acumulas puntos que realmente sirven para ahorrar en el próximo pedido.

  13. [R15] 1/5 · US Order 3:45, Arrive 6:35. Refused to Refund.: I ordered from a popular restaurant in Taiwan, usually wait time is already around an hour. Knowing so, I placed orde early at 3:45PM, and hoping it will arrive ON-TIME at 5:15PM. But no… we checked the food delivery at 5:20PM and it showed delivery in 20-30 minutes. Okay… its late, but fine. We waited. At 5:40PM, we checked the app again. The delivery
  14. [R16] 1/5 · US Worst service: Gave order at 9:30 pm in 18 minutes distant restaurant. At 11 pm restaurant manager called saying food prepared in 30 mins but the rider didn’t go there to pick! We had to call several times to get the delivery.. but couldn’t manage doing it. So disappointing.

  23. [R14] 1/5 · US Missing Item: It was my first order from Panda mart of Foodpanda BD and my order was for four cups of yogurt, but I received only three. One item was missing. I reported the issue immediately in front of the rider and even took a photo of the order on the rider’s bike in front of him as proof. Despite that, they closed the case without providing my refund. This has been a very bad experience for
  24. [R20] 1/5 · US Kyar Phran app that cancels money and orders without any responsibility or accountability. · translated
  25. [R10] 1/5 · US Increased their prices: They used to have a fair pricing Now they cost more on every product and add extra charges. Im switching to foodi
  26. [R22] 1/5 · US They are scammers: I ordered a huge number of medicines from a store named “Jannat Pharmacy”……..After checking the market prices and printed MRP on the products, I found that I was charged much higher prices on several items. The details are below: SMC Orsaline (25 pieces) Market price: 150 BDT Charged: 155 BDT Extra charged: 5 BDT Napa Extra Tablets Market price: 30 BDT per strip Charged: 40 BDT
  27. [R40] 1/5 · US Absurd Delivery charges: Worst company ever. Charging absurd amounts for food delivery. This app should be banned.
  28. [R52] 4/5 · US Higher prices: Prices are higher than original menu
  29. [R12] 1/5 · US They doing fake promotion for new user: very disapointed when i talk to agent they cannot Solution
  30. [R34] 1/5 · US Pre-payment Scam: I’m pro member I order on mithai shop some items but my main item is stock out. I request CS Nahid to cancel my order. He didn’t cancel and say ‘you won’t be refunded if you cancel. It such scam
  31. [R36] 1/5 · US Bad App: I use my voucher to order. When I going to payment method then I remember have to add something more Then when I done adding and going to next phase app is telling me that the voucher is claimed. If I didn’t confirmed my order then how I use it ? Dumb App 😤
  32. [R43] 1/5 · US Worst app for food delivery: Dont use it and do not purchase pro as they will randomly remove the coupons that you got from foodpanda pro so its a total scam
  33. [R8] 4/5 · US Live activities needed: App is good but lacks live activities functionality which would be helpful for deliveries
  34. [R92] 4/5 · US Awaiting dark mode: Add dark mode and it’s 5 stars from me 😎
  35. [R127] 4/5 · US iPhone version: Updating my reviee. I would highly like if this app had a decent dark mode and live activities.
  36. [R33] 1/5 · US Extremely poor support: The whole concept of using this app is to make ordering convenient, however despite charging heavy fees, they cannot figure out the basics. Orders are regularly cancelled due to the items not being in stock and they will continue appearing in the app. Delivery also usually takes 3x the time shown since they never have sufficient riders. The support team is highly incompeten
  37. [R111] 3/5 · US Needs Order Status Options: I like to use FoodPanda, however, AFTER I pay and use a voucher, it tells me the items are out of stock. I understand that FoodPand partners with the location, but something needs to be done for the location so check inventory BEFORE you buy. I wasted a welcome back voucher just for 4 items to be out of stock and 1 bun is the only thing left. I might get my refund, but
  38. [R871] 3/5 · AU The service is Okay, but the inventory/logistics is really poor: The service is good, delivered on time. But The orders I make are always modified because of product unavailability, without ever contacting me. When I send a meal for the family, ask them not to prepare dinner because I am sending food, then only half the meal is delivered - can you imagine how embarrassing and inconvenient that is?
  39. [R5] 1/5 · US Abuses notifications to spam ads: Uses iOS notifications to send ads, which is against Apple’s App Store rules.
  40. [R26] 1/5 · US In Asia as a American: Cannot use the app without local number even though we are just traveling through and thought it would be convenient but when I put in my us number it says not supported even though I’m in Asia…
  41. [R45] 1/5 · US The app that starves foreigners: Food panda has left me hungry in multiple countries now, with its local phone number requirement. Of course it doesn’t let you know this till you’ve wasted time creating an account and keep waiting or an OTR that will never come. Seeing the app can be used for communication between driver and customer, and that the customer pays in advance, this limitation s
  42. [R19] 1/5 · US Takes too long: Driver picks up my food and makes like 27 stops before finally delivering it. Food is cold and delivery fees are high. Not good.
  43. [R1] 1/5 · US Download it if you’re seeking for troubles: Genuinely the worst app to ever exist. I could sit here and complain about it for five hours straight.
  44. [R39] 5/5 · US Well: My experience with Foodpanda much amazing. It’s a my favorite app when I starve
  45. [R21] 1/5 · US Lie about delivery times & no support help: I loved food panda and used it often as a service because they gave Apple Pay as an option! However, I recently had an order that said it would arrive from 25-40 minutes with priority. I paid for that and my order arrived almost 90 minutes after. I submitted a help ticket and have gotten no response. The app lies about the delivery time blatantly and als
  46. [R23] 1/5 · US Extremely Delayed Orders & Poor Customer Experience: The cancellation option only appeared after 2 hours, forcing customers to wait unnecessarily. The excessive delay caused frustration, wasted time, and left guests waiting and eventually leaving.
  47. [R240] 3/5 · US Add a cancel button: One of the best ways to order food in bd, but for gods sake add a cancel button
  48. [R362] 3/5 · GB Order delays: It takes forever to turn any order to arrive when they say 30 minutes is usually takes one hour 30 minutes. When they say 40 minutes it takes two hours and extremely bad customer service. There’s no way to cancel it order. If it takes too long, there is no way to report that your order is not coming on top of that they’re taking platform fee for very basic platform
